Caution: Falling Rock in Gramercy!

2006_5_fallingrock1.jpg

We were walking up in Gramercy before and noticed that the police had blocked off Irving Place between 15th and 16th Street. We asked an officer on the scene what happened-- he said a piece of the wall of the building across from Washington Irving fell off. First reports indicated that someone was hurt, but we were unable to verify that. Interesting coincidence: this is directly across the street from the notorious "stooling" incident three years ago. Remind us to always wear a helmet when walking on that block!
